- PATSLIDE is widely accepted as being the ultimate in-patient safety and comfort during transfer. The smooth upper surface provides low resistance, allowing for easy transfer. When the patient’s weight is applied, the non-skid inserts on the under-surface grip firmly onto the operating table, trolley or bed. It’s easy to position, and lightweight, weighing less than five kilos. Made from a specially formulated thermo plastic, making the PATSLIDE static insulative and X-ray translucent. Easily cleaned. With a full appreciation for the need for cleanliness, the PATSLIDE was designed so that it may be cleaned simply by washing with a detergent, or any other aqueous based disinfectant.
